Pajusi Mud Run and Minu Koer present:
MINU KOER MUD RUN 2026
Date: 12.07.2026
Start: 11:00
Summer, mud, water, obstacles, slipping, climbing, falling flat on your belly – and lots of laughter.
If you enjoy a fun challenge, running, walking and spending time with dogs, this event is for you!
The route takes participants through a variety of terrain.
WE HAVE 2 DISTANCES AND BOTH ARE TIMED:
4 km course – suitable for sport dogs and participants who enjoy speed, want to compete against the clock and take on a more athletic challenge.
7 km course – the classic Minu Koer Mud Run route for those who love water and mud. This distance is also timed, but you can complete the course at your own pace – running or walking.

COMPLETING THE COURSE – On the morning of the event, each participant will receive a starter bag from the information tent. The starter bag includes a personal chip for electronic timing.
Participants will start at 20-second intervals, either walking or running – everyone can choose their own pace.

Advice for Participants
- If an obstacle feels too difficult, you may skip it. The competition rules allow you to skip an obstacle by completing the required number of penalty squats.
- Prepare for the event together with your dog. Keep your dog in good physical condition.
- Do not feed your dog for at least two hours before the mud run.
- Help your dog complete and pass the obstacles. If needed, you may carry your dog.
- Be considerate of other participants and their dogs. Remember that you are not alone on the course.
- Follow the principles of fair play. A victory or first place is not worth much if it is achieved unfairly.
- Do not leave rubbish behind. Please keep the entire event area clean. Rubbish and dog waste must be placed in the designated bins. Bring dog waste bags with you.
- Smoking is allowed only in designated areas.
- The organiser reserves the right to change the course distance and the number of obstacles.
- The route includes both natural and artificial obstacles. Every obstacle may be muddy and dirty.
- As a participant, you understand that during the event your body and clothing, as well as your dog’s coat, will get muddy and dirty. Please bring towels and, if available, a drying coat so that you can clean and dry both yourself and your dog after completing the course. Water will be available on site for rinsing.

DOG REQUIREMENTS:
A participant may take part in the event with a dog of any breed or size, whether neutered or not, provided that the dog meets the following requirements:
– the dog is at least 12 months old;
– the dog is not in heat;
– the dog is microchipped;
– the required vaccinations have been completed;

– the dog is in good physical condition and physically healthy, meaning not overweight, not suffering from chronic illness, and that the dog’s physical health and/or life is not at risk during the event. To make sure your dog is fit to take part, we recommend consulting your veterinarian before the event;
– the dog has received deworming treatment no later than 2–3 weeks before the event.
Before the start of the event, a veterinarian will check whether the dog has a microchip and a veterinary passport.
Safety comes first. If you have any doubts about your dog’s behaviour around other dogs, the use of a muzzle is mandatory.
If a dog shows aggressive behaviour, the organiser may, for the safety of participants, require the dog to wear a muzzle. In cases of extremely aggressive behaviour, the organiser may decide to disqualify the dog from the event. The participation fee will not be refunded.
A participant who refuses to put a muzzle on their dog after being advised to do so must leave the event area. The participation fee will not be refunded.
